Fran, Are you aware that the original manufacturer of the Turner 917 car is www.kraftwerkz.net.au (I believe). I doubt that he would be happy with the fact that all his outstanding work was being copied. I suggest you contact him. The owners name is Andrew Kelor and he has a factory here in...

Oliver, My staff in South Africa have only taken the period between Christmas and the New Year off and not the three weeks that is normal. I have stated this else where and I am very happy that they are so keen to get the production line on track. The above post explains production and I will...

Something that I read some time ago and with the "turkey - Turn key" mistake that is just a minor glitch compared to some of my foopas I thought I would share with you. Please enjoy !!!! This condition is known as TYPOGLYCEMIA. Please do not delete this because it looks weird. Believe...

Oliver, The gentleman in Aus with the 4.6 car is Tim Makie. His chassis was started in September 2004 and the car was started in March or April 2005. The car has been running through emmission tests since then and is now at 40% requirements for CO and just over 70% requirement for HC and NOX...

I don't know where you are getting TWO years from. I first time I spoke with Rob Senekal in South Africa was in August 2005, the agreement to build cars in Cape Town was after his visit to Australia at the start of THIS year and the first Roaring Forties car only arived in Cape Town on 18th...

Re: RF52 Pat, The car looks great. The new cars from South Africa have the aluminium pannels anodized like your panels. I think it looks great and is just so much easier to look after. I also think the way you braced the engine to start it is realy interesting. I have never seen or heard...
